Remote Sensing Techniques and Gis Applications in Earth and Environmental Studies

Earth and environmental scientist describe the current uses of remote sensing and geographical information systems in their fields. The topics include a remote sensing perspective on estimating land surface temperature and detecting urban heat islands, improving the efficiency of image interpretation using ground truth terrestrial photographs, correlations between land use and terrain in the Piedmont tract of eastern India: a case study of the Dulung River Basin, analyzing the suitability of potential sites for rain water harvesting systems, and measuring the dynamics of an ecological footprint as an index of environmental sustainability at the regional level using geospatial information technology.
